There are those at Comic-Con who just stand apart from the crowd: the sad minority who forgot to wear a costume—because Comic-Con costumes are to be taken seriously! This is where fans get to prove their fanaticism, down to the polyester bone. And now that the Star Wars generation is grown-up, they’re bringing little Ewoks of their own to the San Diego convention. Photographer Chris McPherson captured the families, mother-daughter duos, and oddities at this year’s Comic-Con.

It was a coincidence that the New York City Pride Parade came just two days after the Supreme Court’s history gay-marriage ruling. It’s also a coincidence that Sean Baker’sTangerine, about two transgender prostitutes on a romantic odyssey in Los Angeles, opens just two weeks later on July 10.

Featured in the upcoming documentary The Wolfpack, the Angulo brothers are becoming famous for having spent most of their lives in isolation in their Lower East Side apartment, understanding the world through the movies they watched. But now that they’re on the big screen themselves, with the documentary opening this weekend, they’re hitting the town in style. Photographer Daniel Arnold was on hand to watch the big coming out, which included a dance party led by Marky Ramone.

Brigitte Lacombe’s photography is an investigation of intimacy. Instead of public faces hitting their marks with weary familiarity, she shows us friends caught with friends, in secretive moments. Celebrated people, under her eye, enact the complicity of the happily absorbed; the magic of her work is that she somehow shows her sitters’ souls without betraying their confidences. We see inside. They remain intact.

Lacombe's exhibit, the first of her 40-year career, is up at Phillips galleries from June 15 to July 30 at 450 Park Avenue in New York.
